In the penultimate episode of Informal Economics, Eric Mason is back to analyze some recent major Economics News to show how uniformed reporting can distort what the actual data is showing. Eric gives us three steps to help us see through the sensationalized headlines: line up incentives, focus on the real variables of the data and seek clarity. He then walks us through two real world examples, including the “crisis” in Argentina and the DOJ’s lawsuit against Apple to show us how to apply the concepts. Eric fields a listener question about a BTC strategic reserve before sharing some of his favorite sources for unbiased reporting
Diana Wanyonyi interviews EDEL WAFULA (an independent home-based caregiver do young children) and LUCY MINAYO (a lawyer who served as the first Director of NurtureFirst). Wafula describes her work with the children and how she got into the field. NurtureFirst, formerly Home-Based Childcare, aspires to be a global resource and advocacy organization for childcare systems that help and support care of children in homes, whether the child’s own home or that of the caregiver. Wafula emphasizes the essential nature of home-based care—and its invisibility and minuscule remuneration as a form of work. She notes that Kenya’s government aims to replace charitable institutions with more home- and family-based childcare.

A Zoom webinar from the Veterans for Peace 2024 convention (August 16 -18), presented here with their permission.
From the organizers:
After the Cold War, the US neocon elite planed to dominate the world. The US attacked and wrecked multiple nations in the Balkans, Central Asia, Africa, and elsewhere. But China continued its peaceful development and is now helping these nations develop and/or recover. The US considers this alter-development a threat, and now China, Russia, and its allies have been designated "revisionist powers"--official enemies– and our Washington elite are attacking, sanctioning, & threatening everyone who will not join us against China and the rising multi-polar global south.
US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper signed a secret order designating the US to be in "active combat with China." Kurt Campbell, Deputy Secretary of State, has threatened to unleash "A magnificent symphony of death." General Minihan and Admiral Davidson expect war in 2025 and 2027, respectively. Will the US trigger global war for hegemony, or go gently into that good night? The planet is at stake.

We demonstrate how Nike is really rather edgeless, we feature Part 2 of the Thunderbolt Prison Project, (this week’s segment is called ‘Templates of Oppression’) and for the feature piece we dare to dream the impossible dream.
Hope springs ever eternal — even if rarely here in the Thunderbolt. Listen with extreme caution.
